Quality Education Mindmap
Scarce Resources
Students do not have access to their own books. Students must share books with many students, and this hinders reading and comprehension skills.
Students are given books that ARE NOT up to date
Students don't have access to technology to connect to others and learn.
Students do not have access to materials/manipulatives which hinders education.
Resources are not given in NATIVE LANGUAGE. Students cannot even read the books provided.
Systematic Lack of Equality
A need for an integration of National benchmark exam for STUDENTS to ensure no one is falling BEHIND.
A need for a national board that travels and asses the teaching being taught across all areas.
A need for a board of teachers who travel and train teachers in poverty areas how to teach.
Teachers all around need mandatory training workshops every 6 months to ensure skills are up to date.
Teachers should have to submit scores, lesson plans, and assignments for a national review. This will ensure all areas are receiving equality with their education.
Only 34% of high poverty schools in Virginia were fully accredited by the state 2013-2014.
Lack of Education/support overall
For there to be teachers, there must be educated and trained adults to be the teachers. Which is a HUGE struggle in a lot of areas.
Many women do not have education due to society stereotypes.
Many parents do not have education themselves, so they do not see the importance of their child having it either.
39 countries have adult literacy rates below 70% &
5.39% of the worldwide poor have no formal education at all.
For every child to receive primary education by 2030, 25.8 million teachers need to be recruited.
There are 30 million children in school who are not learning reading, writing, and math.
Lack of Schools & Facilites
National Praxis exam teachers must take and score a certain number on to be allowed to teach.
In the Andes Mountains ONLY 4 in 10 girls graduate, and they walk 5-6 hours to school each day.
Many girls drop out because they are treated unfairly without private bathrooms, and they aren't provided the sanitary products needed.
Students need a classroom that they can focus in that is not OUTSIDE and is suitable for LEARNING NEEDS.
Some students walk up to 3 hours to school, and then another 3 hours home each day.
No bus system for the students to get to school/home.
There aren't any formal inside classrooms in Sub Saharan. In Chad, 1 in 7 have water and 1 in 4 have toilets.
Lack of Money
There is a lack of students attending school each day, and the overall enrollment is declining in many areas. This in return, causes the district to give the school less money.
7,224 school districts in the United States are facing a "funding gap"
Teacher turnover rates in Title 1 schools are 50% higher than others. Title 1 schools serve the low-income students, and receive almost no founding.
Each year, K-12 public schools are being underfunded almost $150 billion.
On average, school districts with the highest rates of poverty receive about 1,000 dollars less per student in state and local funding (students are not provided needs for success)
On average, low-income students score 2 grade levels below their high-income peers
This causes there to be large class sizes that students are unable to learn in.
Cannot afford quality teachers if there is no money to pay them.
